Readers see many sides of Kathy Griffin gag

I don’t think Kathy Griffin is funny. Her latest gag crossed the line. Although she may have intended a parody on Donald Trump saying that Megyn Kelly had “blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her whatever,” the comedic value was lost.

The president immediately tweeted:

“Kathy Griffin should be ashamed of herself. My children, especially my 11 year-old son, Barron, are having a hard time with this. Sick!”

I hadn’t even seen it until it had been deleted, Griffin lost a job and she apologized.

Melania stated anyone who would do something like this is “sick.”

So who is the sick person now? Who is televising it over and over again in political propaganda? Who has incorporated it into an ad in Georgia to associate the leading Democratic candidate with Kathy Griffin and her gag?

The ad is paid for by a Republican Super PAC aligned with Paul Ryan.

The Republican Party is showing this despicable image over and over. The Republicans continue to show the bloodied head of the president.

Poor Barron’s father’s friends have a $6.5 million campaign fund to continue televising that image of his Dad beheaded. That’s sick.

A recent letter to The Desert Sun expressed outrage over Kathy Griffin’s stunt of holding up a fake bloody head that looked like Donald Trump in a photo. Clearly, her little stunt was beyond disgusting and totally uncalled for in a civil society. However, conservative outrage directed at her shows that conservative hypocrisy is alive and well!

Can anyone recall widespread conservative outrage when lifesize likenesses of President Obama were lynched and set on fire? Did any conservative leaders call for the firing of Rush Limbaugh when he essentially incited violence against President Obama?

No one was arrested for any lynching stunt, nor was Rush fired. You see we have this pesky little principle that people have fought and died for -- Freedom of Speech. Conservatives claim they are the only true lovers of the Constitution and, in fact, have cited Freedom of Speech when reminded of the antics described above.

Griffin has apologized. She has been fired by CNN, had several concerts canceled and received death threats. Who knows what else is coming her way?

What Kathy did was horrible. However, she does not deserve to have her life destroyed!
